G. B. scHEFr-'VEY CLOTH BOARD OR WIEDER Filed' Nox/.'19, 1925 Ill f4 y l t 1l, provide proper bases for the application reduced.

of end labels 40, Fig. 1, which may be applied at the cloth board factory or at the textile mills or elsewhere, when the fabrics are wound upon the board. These labels identify the manufacture of the fabric and also usually contain quality, yardage or other designation.

End margins of the board may be further finished by paper strips l1 applied over end portions of the cover sheet 31. rlhese surface finishing sheets may in some cases be portions of the labels which are folded over and adhesively secured to edge and side faces of the cover material.

The completed board, as is evident from the preceding description, is very light, strong, rigid, and may be produced at low cost. Its light weight is advantageous not only because the weight of the board adds little to the weight of the comnlete fabric bolt, but because shipping costs from the clot-h board factoryto the textile mill where the boards are utilized is very materially The outer surface of the board is entirely smooth, the broad faces being iiat and the longitudinal edges smoothly rounded so that any injury to the fabric wound upon it `is prevented.
